I am an Eagles fan and I don't consider myself a homer by any stretch of the imagination and I think Westbrook is a better overall running back right now.

Peterson is a better pure runner but Westbrook is a duel threat. He's the best pass catching back in the league not to mention he's an exceptional blocker. He's also can return punts/kicks when called upon.

I know you're in love with AP for good reasons as he is a very special talent but Westbrook is the better PLAYER right now.

What I am saying is that good teams have schemes/systems already in place. It's about finding players and developing them to fit your scheme. That's what teams like the Patriots/Colts/Eagles do well. They build through the draft.

Believe it or not the Eagles wouldn't be as proficient offensively if you exchanged Westbrook for Peterson. The same holds true for the other way around. The Eagles offense is built around 36. Peterson doesn't have the blocking abilities or skills as a WR (that's not to say he never will but he doesn't at the moment). The Eagles flat out are a better team with Westbrook than they would be with Peterson.

Well as a Dallas fan your entitled to your opinion. I personally believe you severely undervalue Westbrook and don't understand how truly versatile or well rounded of a football player he is.

wow Marlo was just real noobish in this thread...

This whole thread was basically him trying to convince me that Westbrook is better than Peterson...and that Peterson wouldn't work in Philly...
